Is Space Tourism About To Take Off?

NPR- June 6, 2014

Virgin Galactic has successfully test-launched a spacecraft that can carry six passengers into space, for a zero-gravity pleasure-cruise at $250,000 a ticket. So far, the company says 700 people have signed up. Branson hopes the first passengers will take off sometime this year.

Blast off into the wild blue yonder?
$250,000 a seat might make you ponder.
